it depends. Can you comfortably afford to keep paying your loan? If so then go for a better car. i dont think theres anything wrong with as bit of credit as long as your not only just keeping your head above water. i've got a nearly new car on a loan which i can afford to pay comfortably and it so doesnt bother me,but it would if i was struggling for money though so its all a question of finances really

I did raise this in the North vs South threads we've had in the past.

Down the road from me in a fairly leafy area, 165 buys you three bed detached.

That has a driveway and garage though, and a front garden and looks like its on a cul-de-sac.

Yeah I'm gonna pay it off. Quite like the idea of being able to save money again. At the moment I always have the loan hanging over me.
